A Kayaker's Dream come true!

Fabulous book with the most amazing photos. Totally enjoyable! Purchased for a trip around Lake Superior (by car). This book gave me a better idea of where I wanted to stop, explore and poke around + local info that is missed by guidebooks. A great arm-chair travel book for those that prefer to camp and paddle the shore of Lake Superior by easy chair :).

Stunning photography, fairly pedestrian story

The beauty of the book are the incredible photos. Excellent eye and equipment. The narrative is for the hardcore only.

A Superior Book!

A truly wonderful book! This coffee table format book by Canadian couple Gary and Joanie McGuffin tells the story of their 2,000 mile circumnavigation of Lake Superior - the largest expanse of fresh water in the world. The book contains approx 140 wonderful photographs, many of them breathtaking. Gary McGuffin is a very talented photographer who has created many unique photos of this great, beautiful lake. He has made use of unusual lighting on many occassions to produce stunning photos. I particularly liked some of the winter shots - I could feel the chill looking at the photos of the ice-lined caves. The personal narrative of the couple's trip was written by Joanie and is an interesting read however could have been made better by inclusion of maps. Also the layout makes reading difficult at times with the type sometimes extending across the full width of the page. The book is superbly produced - printed in Canada - with excellent photo reproductions on high quality paper. At 28 bucks this book is excellent value...well worth buying for the photos alone.
